Dead right.
He'll be possibly presenting himself as some superhero.

...well I guess that my thoughts are...that 0.01% when applied to the population is an awful lot of lives and an awful lot of deaths that could have been prevented if all possible precautions were taken as medically advised....this virus needs the world to comply with ...it needs the non vulnerable to help preserve life for the vulnerable wherever possible...and it won’t always be possible, I know...but there won’t be many of us that don’t have ‘vulnerable’ in our lives, either with friends or family...and we hope that others around us will comply to help to preserve their lives...

This complacent dismissiveness of deaths is irritating to me.
It's not just the deaths either Ammi, it's the devastation of the loved ones of those lives lost.
What does that do to the percentage.
For each person, there's unknown numbers left grieving and devastated too.

Knowing lives were lost before their time.

However, there's another side too.
We see no figures for this, I'd doubt anyone in authority is even collating any.
However people are left with disabilities,terminal health conditions.
Some needing transplants as organs are damaged..
Even brain damage.

Plus the other effects limiting quality of life to those suffering more acute long covid.

Put all those categories into the effects of this virus.
IF, anyone in power will ever present full and more true figures as to the overall destruction this virus brings to lives and to their loved ones too.
Then see where percentages are.

I don't like lives lost reduced to percentages.
I like even less our government not even offering condolences to the bereaved.
I just will never even attempt to diminish the losses of lives to this virus.

It's one cruel virus for certain, in that in the main the lives it takes, are more likely those vulnerable with other health conditions or the elderly, even not safe in Care homes!!.

It does however impact others lives if they contract it severe enough, to cause them poor health for months or years.
Or even more terminally.

Absolutely Nicky.
It is.

Not that our lot are..
They've taken away the full support that was in place officially.
In fact they rarely even bother to mention the most vulnerable and elderly.

On an avergae day in the world

150,000 humans die

6000 per hour

These numbers include death, violence, disease and famine, as well as many other causes of death.

we don't even know what the long term effects are on people that report next to no symptoms yet. Sometimes these things don't show up for years

like what Joey said, it is not just about the deaths, also how it leaves people with disabilities, terminal illnesses, requiring new organs, more need for transplants

working together to beat corona, means we can prevent that suffering for many people

corona does not care wether you are left or right wing, corona affects all of us

Oh crumbs.
Bringing in the religious topic too.

He'll stoop to any truly lowest level to present himself as some ' anointed' one.

A blessing from God..
Really.
Yet people admire this pompous individual.

The drug is basically a cleaned up and concentrated version of blood plasma, and it will work in some circumstances but has been shown not to work at all in others, so it is what it is

The World is going mad Nicky.

It's incredible now, the kind of individuals that people support and put into power
Then fall for every bit of nonsense they tell them too.

However, to bring in God now.
On here even, as well as at large in this Country, people claiming miracles or God helping them in bad times, are dismissed as fanatics and filling others heads with nonsense.

When this guy says something like this.. he'll likely get supported.

It doesn't surprise me that Cuomo will get hate.
The people talking more sense as rationally as they can.
They will get the ridicule.

To me it's just all going crazy and really sad.
